In Seattle, the Rockets buried the SuperSonics 112-85. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
